Cover Band vs. Tribute Band
I just love it when I learn something new. On the way to work I listen to K-Fog. This morning they were interviewing Scott, a member of a band called Zoo Station and asked him if they were a U2 cover band or tribute band. Scott explained that a cover band is one which performs the work of
many other bands, a tribute band dedicates themselves to sounding and appearing like the band to which they pay tribute.
Scott is the drummer of Zoo Station. He is especially excited about the new U2 release “Get on Your Boots” because it has so many drum riffs. He is hoping that the entire new CD coming out will have the same sort of sound.
I am not a U2 fan, groupie or whatever, but the new single is fun to listen to. If you are a fan, or know a fan, we have lots of designs and gift ideas for music lover and even a sexy boots design! Take a look at our gift ideas by clicking on any of the links.

NEW WOOD AND METAL BOXES ADDED TO KYLE DESIGN
I tease Kyle sometimes because we talk a lot about new ideas she has and then months later I find out she has added it to the website when I see the actual new product come up for me to pack! Or I read about it when I am checking out her blog.
That is what happened when she finalized the new wood boxes with glass and metal overlay. This design allows you to use any of our over 400 designs on our wood boxes. the design is integrated into a metal overlay on a colorful piece of glass and with a flash of our iridescent film under the design.
There are nine color systems available on the 6.5″ x 6.5″ x 2.5″ high boxes which are made of rosewood stained ash. The boxes are hinged and the bottom of the inside is lined. We can ad an engraving plate to the inside or outside of the box.
A smaller version of the overlay box will soon be
available in black. Hopefully Kyle will let me know when that happens and I can post information on that box! Pictured here ia a sample of that box.

Do you enjoy candles and champagne? Or beer and baseball? Does she spend her days in the garden? Is his nose always in a book? Will you love her until
the end of time?
Does she make lemonade from lemons? Does he shiver your timbers? Can he fix anything? Has she knit you some socks? Maybe he is the cowboy of your dreams. She holds the key to your heart.
Do you love to dance the night away or
snuggle in front of the TV? Does he have the heart of a lion? Is she busy as a bee? Is she your princess? Will he slay a dragon for you. Does he live in a castle? Is she from another world?
Is your honey your funny bunny? The cherry on top? Your angel from heaven or your stinky little skunk?

small tokens of your feelings. A lovely jewelry box, a shining night light. A business like card case, a sparkly earring. A keepsake ornament or a magnet for the refrigerator. So many ways to express yourself .

2008 CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TRENDS
Just taking a minute out of our busy day of processing and packing orders to
mention some of the shopping tends we are seeing.
With the economy in an uproar it was hard to know how people would react and if they would
be shopping. We feel that we have the perfect kind of gifts – practical, beautiful and unique. Well, we are happily busy filling orders.
We are seeing that our math and science designs are doing well, as is the vampire design – thanks to all the Twilight fans! We are seeing lot’s of sharks and squirrels, too. Things we are getting low on are the stockbroker design, the fashion design and sewing– so people have really been buying based on their hobbies and professions.
We have had fun seeing what people have been using the alcohol and caffeine molecular designs for! Our new double designs are becoming popular and it is great fun trying to decipher the meanings – we had one that appears to have been for a DUI attorney!
Sports remain very popular. Lacrosse, rowing and our new athletic shoe are almost as popular as the swimming design. There are also a LOT of ballroom dance fans ordering.
The one that we have sold out is our interlocking hearts – so Kyle is gearing up and we will have plenty of that design in time for Valentine’s Day!
